This vibrant leek and asparagus frittata is a wonderful way to celebrate seasonal spring greens. Combining the mild, onion-like sweetness of sautéed leeks with earthy shiitake mushrooms and tender asparagus, the dish is enriched with melted Fontina and Parmesan cheese. It is a light yet satisfying meal that works just as well for a weekend brunch as it does for a quick midweek supper, offering a lovely balance of textures and fresh, savoury flavours.
As a protein-rich, diabetes-friendly option, this pancake-style omelette provides a nutritious alternative to carb-heavy meals. The use of omega-3 eggs adds a healthy boost, while the quick grilling method ensures a beautiful golden finish without the need for excess oil. Serve these wedges warm from the pan alongside a crisp green salad for a simple, wholesome lunch.

Ingredients for Leek and Asparagus Frittata
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
230g chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only)
30g bunch thin asparagus, trimmed, cut on diagonal into 1-inch pieces (about 600ml )
240ml sliced stemmed shiitake mushrooms
8 large omega-3 eggs
120g diced Fontina cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper

How to make Leek and Asparagus Frittata
Preheat grill. Melt butter in heavy broilerproof 10-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and sauté 4 minutes. Add asparagus and shiitake mushrooms, sprinkle lightly with salt, and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes. Whisk eggs, 90g Fontina cheese, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in medium bowl. Add egg mixture to skillet; fold gently to combine. Cook until almost set. Sprinkle remaining 30g Fontina cheese and Parmesan cheese over. Grill until frittata is puffed and cheese begins to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
